"Kinda how some Dads want their sons to be pro football/basketball/baseball stars. So they push them into all the sports stuff."

I'm thinking Todd Marinovich is the prime example of royally fucking up your kid.

Archie will be lucky not to end up like one of the child star has-beens. Although, I don't think he will ever reach star status, so the fall may not be as dramatic as the Britneys or Lindsays.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. - George Carlin

TMZ has a new story up. Apparently Simon Cowell has something to say.

supedupX: "If you get canned this week Archie, first thing you should do is emancipate yourself from that d-bag father of yours!"

Absolutely! Whether is this week or next or even if he wins, Lil' Davey clearly needs his freedom from Daddy Dearest. I am in a quandary about this one and how it will affect the outcome. TPTB have clearly had enough of Papa and may not want to take on the hassle of having Lil' Davey win. HOWEVER, they would have the legal power to make the emancipation happen, and would then have their own, well-trained puppet to control. And since Lil' Davey can clearly not make decisions for himself, he would probably appreciate having someone new pulling the strings. Imagine if he were truly emancipated and on his own in the world. Scary!

Thats great. I'm actually looking forward to it this week. There could be a tantrum of epic proportions. Simon's been making coded snipes at him all year. I hope this week he says something like "that was wonderful. Its amazing what you can do when you're out there singing for yourself..." and looks Little League Dad's way. Maybe there could be fisticuffs? Oh please. That would be better than Paula's fuck up.
I sort of feel sorry for this kid. His dad sounds like a total tool.
Personally I hope the great rock legend in his own mind wins. I'd love to see that arogant prick have to sing pussy AI ballads.
Syscreecha has been the Forrest Gump of this season.

So I meant to say this in my last little comment...

Has anyone else noticed that when David A sings, the camera get all up close and personal in his face. To the point where you can almost see up his nose or something. Haha. Then again, theres not much else you can do with a camera shot when a song just drags on.

Everyone else gets all the nifty camera angles and light shows and all sorts of crazy stuff.

My Mom, Dad, and my aunt and uncle are all addicted to this show, and they're all in their early 60's and listen to the type of style that David A sings, but they cannot STAND him at all. The other day my Mom was like, "Never in a million years did I think that I would want some leather wearing, spiky hair, tons of necklaces, rocker guy to win Idol."

Haha, my aunt even said that she bets all the little tiny middle school girls are worn out after 2 hours from dialing in on their little Hello Kitty cell phones voting for that little 17 year old that looks 14.

Blah.

I want to see him come out this week and sing George Michael's Freedom. Set his dad's dorky hat on fire, then flip him off when he's done singing and spit on the stage. Then when Ryan interviews him, say "well, its great to have that fucking douche bag off my back. That's right daddy, fuck you. Do you know your perfect little son was smoking PCP with Jason Catro?"

Look, I wasn't going to comment on this story because I have no sense of humor and laughing about an overbearing father causing his semi-retarded son grief is wrong, but I couldn't hold it in anymore.

I am absolutely fed up with all of you saying that Jeff Archuleta is abusive of his young son. It's fairly obvious that he is just a concerned parent who wants the absolute best for his son, and he is unashamed of the lengths that he must go to in order to promote his son's talents and protect his interests. It's nothing that the rest of you wouldn't do if you were in possession of a golden goose like David Archuleta.

You all should be ashamed of yourselves! I was once one of you, but the invasion of the ArchAngels on this website has opened my eyes and converted me to their way of thinking. Heck, I even converted to Mormonism! Sorry for saying "heck" just then, that was inappropriate.

Anyhoo, there is one piece of evidence that you are all conveniently ignoring about Jeff Archuleta that obviously exonerates him from any wrongdoing: his really cool hat! Could anyone who wears a totally sweet hat like that really be a bad guy? It's not even remotely child molester-ish at all! That's right, apology accepted.

Samara, you are so delusional. Last night you had nothing but negative things to say about TMZ's article because it wasn't what you wanted to hear. You said they only print lies. Now because TMZ printed something that backs up your idea of whats right you come over proclaiming that we should read it. Hypocrite.

All you want it to be right.

You don't give a damn about David. If you did you'd be open to the possibility that something *might possibly* be going on here. You'd fucking CARE about more than winning a flame war.

By the way, Simon himself criticized David for singing a song that he didn't believe he chose. He has had problems with the Dad. He isn't going to come out and spill his guts. He has something to loose unlike Naomi Judd. That something is called MONEY.

Scott Baio has been converted?!

I give up.

*buys a hat and gets religion*

I shot the tambourine man.

The new story on TMZ is just Simon saying he wasn't responsible for getting him banned. That's all.
His dad has a goatee, like the people from the evil parallel universe in South Park. I wonder if Ryan will try to explain this away like he did when Paula screwed the pooch. Come on David, come out there and sing real rock songs, not AI's version of rock, but real rock. Do Anarchy for the UK and sing the closing "No future for you" directly to Simon. Then tell everyone that you wanted to play rock but Jeff wouldn't let you. That would make David Leigh Cook look like the wannabe rocker he is.
